The pad helps but it doesn't solve all of the problems with the Hobie
Mirage seat because it doesn't give you any additional padding
over the webbing with the pegs that hold the seat in place. I’ve
always considered the Hobie Mirage well designed except for the
seat. Basically it has no comfortable position because of the way it
fits into the “scooped out” seat area. It forces your bottom to slide
down and back on the webbing that the pegs are attached to. This
feels like you are sitting in a hard trench. The second problem is
the pressure that it puts on the back of your legs between the hips
and the knees, where the scoop angles up to the middle of the
kayak. This cuts off circulation in the back of your legs.
An improved pad design would be a wedge that is at least 4 inches
thick at the back of the pad, then tapers to 1 to 2 inches thick at
the front of the pad.
Instead of attaching to the seat by a flap like the existing pad, add
2 Velcro straps to the top and bottom of the back side of the pad
that are long enough to wrap around to seat back to hold the pad in
place. This would be a simple design that could be quickly attached
to the seat and you would still be able to reach under it to line up
the seat pegs to the holes in the kayak. Attaching it to the back of
the seat rather than the web and peg part would put padding over
the web and pegs.
Hobie still has work to do to improve the seat and/or pad.

Forgot to mention in initial review-one
negative point. The holes punched in this seat
are too small for the latest Hobie seat pegs
to fit through. Also, the center of the holes
are spaced closer together than the pegs on
newer kayaks. Yes, I know you can place this
on top the regular seat and secure it with the
velcro strip that covers the seat pegs, but
this is not the way this pad was designed to
be used. I used a hole punch to increase the
hole diameter and spacing, but this shouldnt
be necessary on a new Hobie accessory for a
new Hobie boat.

If you have a Hobie mirage
kayak and spend more then 30
minutes in it, theses seats
are a must. The amount of
cushion is adjustable and they
just Velcro to the standard
seat. Much, much more
comfortable sitting in the
kayak for extended periods of
times

We got this for my wife, and she loves it.
I would have given it a 5 rating, but again Hobie people have that negative gamesmanship here.
We ordered the new pegs to replace the cheap non working factory pegs. After a very long time getting the new holes in the seat to fit the pegs, I discovered with the comfort seat, the new pegs are not long enough to fit through the seat and the comfort seat.
We found that if we really fit the seat in correctly and tightly, for some reason the old pegs work.
Our last trip lasted over 2 hours, and my wife's complaints re a sore butt with the plain jane seat didn't appear after 2 hours of basic non stop pedaling.

Another great product from Hobie! I was skeptical about his one as I had not seen it in person...however,it is worth the money. I attached mine under the existing seat for added comfort. It works great and is easy to adjust. Now Hobie needs to come out with a back cushion to match. As always, Austin Kayak was quick to ship and a pleasure to buy from.

Wow! received i-comfort seat in three days from Austinkayak.com after ordering. Local Hobie dealer had no clue about the i-comfort seat. Really great product, what comfort. Actually opened up mirage seat at velcro end removed original foam, and made opening at front of seat for air valve. Inserted i-comfort seat restitched velcro, and put back together. Wow! just can't believe the comfort. Hobie should make a factory seat like this as an upgrade.

To purchase a new seat with this much padding would cost close to $200. When fishing for long periods this pad is a must. Simple to attach and use.

After a couple of hours of sea kayaking my butt would hurt and my left leg would go to sleep. The comfort seat changed everything. Now I feel like I'm sitting in an easy chair and I don't even have to inflate it. Just the padding alone is sufficient, when directly attached by the existing two bolts under the original Hobie seat. It works!

Still too early in this neck of the woods for kayaking, as the lake is all ice. However, after getting the I-comfort I immediately tried it out in a hard chair and felt pretty cushy and nice. So for now it gets my vote and 5 stars. Can't wait to try it out in the kayak.

I had planned to get a gel cushion until I saw this seat in the Hobie parts catalog so I ordered one. I have been out up to six hours with the iComfort seat now with no discomfort at all! Great accessory for a great boat! Someone should make one for my less fortunate paddling friends who don't have Hobies so they will stop whining!
